We value the Holy Bible, the Word of God. Our church, and our very lives, need to be built upon its principles. Therefore we will provide various opportunities for all age groups to study the
Bible.
We value people. God has designed us to live abundant, joy-filled lives in a meaningful relationship with him. Sin has marred this design. Therefore, we can experience God’s love and plan for our lives through the grace of Jesus Christ.
We value the salvation that Jesus Christ alone can bring. His life, death, burial, and resurrection allow us to receive the free gift of eternal life. Therefore, we can enter into a relationship with
God personally through his Son Jesus, and this affects every aspect of
our lives.
We value prayer to Heavenly Father. Individual and corporate prayer is an integral part of Christian living and growth. Therefore, prayer time will be a valued ingredient of all meetings/services held at EBC and conversing with our Heavenly Father will always be encouraged.
We value the local Church, as a small part of the larger universal Church, the Body of Christ. God intends his people to be involved in authentic, loving relationships with one another. Therefore, we are committed to welcoming all believers and seekers to share our lives with one another, encouraging regular fellowship and small group involvement.
We value Christ centered living. We recognize that our actions have eternal consequences. Life without Christ leads to eternal separation. Believers can expect eternal reward. Therefore, we strive to conduct ourselves in thought and action, in a way that is God-pleasing. We realize that our Heavenly Father is always watching over us and His Son may return at any moment.
We value the changed life that comes as a result of a genuine relationship with Christ. Therefore, we strive to become transformed into the likeness of Christ as we obey God’s commands, are filled with the Holy Spirit, and practice the spiritual disciplines that develop godly character and distinctive lives.
We value providing opportunities for people to commit themselves to Christ. Since every person is made in the image of God and loved by him, we will use Christ- honoring means to reach as many people as possible with the life-changing message of God’s Word. The Gospel is relevant to all people and all times and must be
communicated in ways that effectively reach all generations of people. Therefore, we will consistently evaluate the effectiveness of our ministry and when necessary, will encourage innovation and flexibility without compromising our mission and core beliefs.
We value that each and every Christian has been called and
gifted to perform God’s work. Therefore, we are committed to equip people to discover, develop, and utilize their gifts in fruitful and
satisfying service.
Pastor Kevin Craesmeyer was originally born and raised in Brazil and is one of seven sons of Bernardo and Carol Craesmeyer, who serve in Brazil as missionaries. His grandfather was also a missionary sent to Brazil, and through his work, many churches were planted there. As being the second to last, Pr. Kevin had the opportunity to watch his parents live in ministry, and this was an inspiration for him to pursue the same path because he could see that nothing in this life is as important as sharing the redemptive work of Jesus Christ on the cross unto the lost.
After marrying his lovely wife Beatriz, both moved to the USA in an adventurous beginning of life together. The purpose for coming to the USA was to train further for ministry, and after six years of diverse apprenticeships and many classes, he has been called to serve here at Preakness Bible Church. He is a father to four lovely children and has a passion for family ministries, marital relationship restoration, and child-raising counseling. This is his first time serving as a Pastor and would love to connect with you in any matter of the Word of God, or questions revolving around how we can please God through our life and ministries. Pastor Kevin just turned thirty and has a Bachelor's degree in animal science and nutrition, and is currently seeking his Bachelor in Ministry through the Berean Bible Institute.
